Heat Stress

Summer is well and truly upon us and already we have experienced some wild weather with storms, flash flooding, rain and excessive heat. Please ensure you have plenty of water with you at all times and are keeping up with your fluids regularly (only have the occasional electrolyte / energy type drinks). If you have any concerns, please seek medical advice or call the AATM WHS Team in 3881 3008.
